lcmh.com 3 From the CEO Lake Charles Memorial Health System 2025 Board of Trustees At Lake Charles Memorial Health System, people are at the center of every story. The individuals we are privileged to care for and the dedicated professionals who care for them form the foundation of all we do. This issue of Memorial Medical Milestones reflects the strength, compassion and spirit of both our team and our community. Inside, you’ll read about new services, new faces and the ongoing work to improve how we care for you. We’ve welcomed over a dozen new physicians to the Memorial family this year, expanding access and expertise close to home. Our latest Community Impact Report shows how your community health system is here for you, advancing health equity and removing barriers to care. Beyond medical treatment, we support the region through charitable giving, partnerships and investments that strengthen programs and services. We also play a vital role in the local economy by providing jobs and supporting businesses, helping keep the economy stable and growing. We pride ourselves in helping create a better quality of life for everyone in the region, because we believe when the health of the people thrives, the whole community thrives. You’ll find stories of healing and hope: a retired physician who found himself as a patient during a health crisis, a nurse who found her purpose in southwest Louisiana and a look at how we honor patients’ dignity through our safe patient handling initiative. This publication is just a window into the compassion and commitment that guide our work, and we hope these stories inspire you as much as they inspire us. Sincerely, Devon Hyde, President and CEO As a community health system, belonging to the people of this community, LCMHS welcomes the direction and contributions of volunteer leaders from all walks of business, industry and public service to help meet the healthcare needs of all people in SWLA.
